9:37am............ :wave: Good morning Delta2 friends! Thanks Sue for all those s'caps and observations this morning, and for adding more from last night regarding our intruder! Ma and Pa have ramped up their activity level lately for sure.........and 2 matings just this morning! They know what they are doing........cans eggs be far into the future? Should be coming up in the next couple of weeks or so.

:wave: Good morning Cheryl.........just saw you here! I must go but will be back later.

12:32pm........Thanks Cheryl! From the rollback: Ma was still in the nest at 10:26am. At 10:39am Pa joined her..........I think he brought a branch but not sure and they both began moving things around. Ma mostly stood there but did help Pa a bit.

12:51pm..............Very blustery wind today. Both neighbours on their tower..........if I remember correctly they had their eggs earlier than Ma and Pa last year.............so we will need to keep watch on that and may find the female on the nest within the next while.

Neighbour left its tower, but this was after spotting the flying eagle so it was not him/her.
